Auto Focus has been wrongly panned by critics who expected something warmer from director Paul Schrader. This is the guy who, in a paperback counterpart to the screenplay for Taxi Driver, wrote, "What's a heart without a head, a head without a cunt, cunt, cunt, without a heart?" If the thought of Bob Crane (played brilliantly by Greg Kinnear) capitalizing on his fame as Colonel Hogan for the purpose of bedding hippie chicks, strippers and waitresses during the heyday of the sexual revolution is not your bag, man, then rent a Disney flick and drink some chocolate milk. This movie captures the sexual abandon of the era like no other film. Willem Dafoe is chilling as Crane's bell-bottom and choker-wearing sidekick "Carpy." Watch this movie a few times. It will grow on you.
